6-Story Building with Apartments, Fitness Studio Planned for 32nd St

Permits have been filed for a six-story mixed-use building on 32nd Street.

The building, planned for 37-29 32nd St., will feature 10 apartments, as well as commercial space located on the first floor and in the cellar.

The building will offer a cellar-level fitness studio. Building tenants will also have access to a bike storage room in the cellar. A residential lobby and commercial space will be located on the first floor.

A duplex will also be located on the first floor and in the cellar of the building. The other apartments will be located on floors two through five, and tenants will also have access to a roof terrace.

Demolition permits for an existing single-story building were filed in June.

The property is located two blocks from the 39th Ave. (N/W) subway station and three blocks from the 36th St. (R) station.

The property is owned by Brett Harris of Aki Development. ND Kazalas Architecture is responsible for the design.

Trump is a FASCIST! The Trump/Pence regime MUST END! This country…this WORLD…is going to Hell in a Handbasket. And u know what? Nobody even realizes it because our eyes are GLUED to these idiotic screens, our ears are stuffed with earbuds, and our fingers do nothing but twit…twit…tweet all day! Doesn’t anyone see how infantalized we’ve become? If it ain’t on the screen, it didn’t happen…right? HUMANITY! We MUST proclaim…REclaim our humanity!

I like how Southern Astoria is changing. It is for the better. However, Northern Astoria has changed for the worse and is now the trashy part of Astoria. The only part that is nice is that it is way more diverse than it has ever been.

It’s time to stop building apartments. We are like ants 🐜.. A lot of food stores and nothing for kids. All these storage places, even by con ed, they could’ve build a huge Dave and Busters like place to accommodate kids parties a place to eat and gang, for winter and summer. So many stores no room to play. I grew up in Astoria in my 40s and things have changed. Some good some bad but one thing I’ve noticed? Nothing for kids ever. Play world with decent prices and space. I hope my message could get across 🙏

You’re talking about a time when children could play outside when not in school in Astoria without parents fearing for their safety. Parents that neighbors and business owners had an eye out for them. That is no longer the case in Astoria. The family vibe is gone. Hence, parents have to arrange closely supervised indoor/outdoor play dates and such. Holidays are a big bore in Astoria because half of the people do not celebrate them anymore or are away visiting families. Back then streets would close for holiday family block parties on for example the 4th of July.

Your kids brains will one day turn to jelly thanks to all the WiFi. You just don’t want to be bothered teaching them so you stick them online so you can have your coffee cigarettes and anti depressants

The storage facilities are opening up and being built (like on Ditmars) mainly to store all the furniture and belongings that belong to all the homeless people and families who are living in shelters/hotels because of being evicted throughout NYC. Its must be cheaper to be stored then buying them new furniture when a place becomes available.

The NYC Ferry system is set to undergo a significant expansion in coming months, with the Astoria route, connecting the western Queens neighborhood to Wall Street, getting a new stop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring.

A 24-year-old Brooklyn man who crashed his car on the BQE in 2017 and left a 25-year-old Astoria woman inside his burning vehicle to die was sentenced yesterday to four to 12 years in prison, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.
